Identification of <i>DELLA</i> Genes and Key Stage for GA Sensitivity in Bolting and Flowering of Flowering Chinese Cabbage
Flowering Chinese cabbage (<i>Brassica campestris</i> L. ssp. <i>chinensis</i> var. <i>utilis</i> Tsen et Lee) is an important and extensively cultivated vegetable in south China, and its stalk development is mainly regulated by gibberellin (GA). DELLA proteins ne...

Flowering Chinese cabbage (<i>Brassica campestris</i> L. ssp. <i>chinensis</i> var. <i>utilis</i> Tsen et Lee) is an important and extensively cultivated vegetable in south China, and its stalk development is mainly regulated by gibberellin (GA). DELLA proteins negatively regulate GA signal transduction and may play an important role in determining bolting and flowering. Nevertheless, no systematic study of the <i>DELLA</i> gene family has been undertaken in flowering Chinese cabbage. In the present study, we found that the two-true-leaf spraying of gibberellin A3 (GA<sub>3</sub>) did not promote bolting but did promote flowering, whereas the three-true-leaf spraying of GA<sub>3</sub> promoted both bolting and flowering. In addition, we identified five <i>DELLA</i> genes in flowering Chinese cabbage. All five proteins contained DELLA, VHYNP, VHIID, and SAW conserved domains.
